The Complete Works of Wolf Road

Chapter 21 Positive Thinking Like a Wolf (2)
What design scheme to use?Think through it from beginning to end, and as long as you think about it in this way, what ideas will emerge from your daily life, and it will also reveal your personality.Before long, you're bound to find your ideal briefcase.

In short, as long as you are willing to think and be creative, you can turn the things around you into your ideal things.And so on and on, and your everyday life becomes extremely creative.

The first step in creativity is to make full use of your own feelings.Because of the sufficient school education received by modern people, it is easy to catch the pattern of learning what is already there.The so-called studying hard is to solve problems according to the equations taught by the teacher, and does not teach students how to design equations.This kind of practice can cultivate the ability to apply what is already there, but it cannot cultivate the ability to imagine or create.Therefore, the first step is to make full use of your own feelings and get as close as possible to the object or idea as the object, which is extremely important.

Generally speaking, new ideas or inspiration come more easily when people are relaxed than when they are concentrated.It is a fact that the great discoveries of many inventors or scientists are often made at this time.But in order to train to be good at thinking, you first need to focus your thinking thoroughly.Think and think, and rest until you're exhausted.In fact, people who suddenly come up with a solution when they are relaxing must also go through the process of thinking and thinking until they are exhausted before resting.

We often unknowingly immerse ourselves in routine routines.Even those who are engaged in quite creative work, even writers, painters and other people whose main occupation is creativity, many people will fall into the trap of a patterned life.Only by rethinking how you will spend your life can you get out of the trap of a patterned life.If you've been living a life focused on just one job, it's easy to become monotonous, whether it's thoughts or opinions.

Although everyone does not want to become like this, human beings are the product of the environment. Even with outstanding intelligence and creativity, it is almost impossible to obtain complete freedom from the real surrounding environment.So even if you struggle every day to be free, it is very difficult to achieve your goal.And those who don't even want to be free must be confined to a small environment in terms of thinking methods or views on things.

Creativity, like objects, must be cherished and used.Therefore, important ideas must be preserved, but fortunately, saving ideas does not require much space.Write down any idea that comes to mind, save it no matter whether it is possible or makes people laugh, and check it out whenever you have a chance, and repeat the review over and over again.Creativity sometimes takes a while to ferment.An idea that was initially considered a bad idea may suddenly turn into a great idea if it is processed.Therefore, never give up on creativity easily.

3 Enhance judgment, identification and decision-making ability
Wolves have strong judgment and recognition ability, and they can recognize and judge their own survival crisis from complex environments.Its ability to identify and judge is mainly carried out through eyes, nose, and ears, especially the sense of smell of wolves, which is very sensitive. It can distinguish the quality of various foods through smell, and it can even smell the smell of humans.This judgment, identification and decision-making ability of wolves is one of the key factors for wolves to survive in harsh environments.

In today's fierce competition, if we want to survive and achieve something, we must have the wolf-like judgment, identification and decision-making ability.There are two main ways for human beings to acquire knowledge, one is to perceive and comprehend through the sensory system.The other is through instinctive reactions.Understanding the nature of intuitive responses and the path to inner wisdom is only possible when the path to knowledge is understood.

Usually, when human beings look at a thing, it is difficult to see its whole picture, so it is inevitable to be one-sided.The knowledge received or imparted through the senses is often superficial and incomplete, and even the recipients sometimes have doubts or lack of confidence in it.

Human beings are facing two serious problems. One is that the comprehension ability cannot reach the point of complete accuracy.Another is psychological confusion.

Everything in the world is in motion and is constantly changing with time. It is not easy to ask people's comprehension ability to be completely accurate.The harm of psychological confusion is even more serious. A chaotic and disorderly mind cannot make people make up their minds, let alone the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

Although human beings are unable to control the changes of external things, they can at least develop a mentality of clarification. If you have a mentality of clarification, then no matter how fast the external things change, you can roughly have an objective impression of them.But it is impossible to record everything with complete accuracy.Because everything in the world is unpredictable, and the human sensory system itself is not a precise receiver.

No matter how much insight a person has, it is not enough to see clearly within himself.No matter how hard a person tries to apply external information to cultivate his own inner wisdom, it is not enough to achieve the effect of satisfying himself.Therefore, in order to obtain inner wisdom, one must not only rely on external means and tools, but must be good at touching the heart.

The inner mind is a special instinct, which has the ability to know how to judge, how to identify and how to decide.Judgment and identification help people to see the essence of things clearly. The ability to make decisions is very critical to people's life. If you can't make a decision and don't know when to make a decision, you will miss the opportunity.Losing a good opportunity can make people regret and blame themselves, which can make people lose confidence.Therefore, for life, it is very important to enhance the ability of judgment, identification and decision-making.

The mind is the inner consultant of the human being, which tells the human being how to make decisions, judge and identify.This process will always be carried out in different ways and degrees in people's hearts. People must first understand their inner conditions before they can understand themselves.You can't understand an axle without first understanding the wheel.The wheel of the mind turns because of the spokes, and the spokes turn because of the axle.This is a simple principle if you want to know the hubs of your nature.The external world can stimulate the mind. Everyone should learn to understand their own mind. Every time they make an action, they should ask themselves whether the thought is right or wrong.

To increase our ability to identify, judge and decide, we first need to have extensive knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of things in advance.Without the backing of knowledge, your recognition ability will never improve.

Secondly, if you have knowledge, you must be good at thinking.People who are good at thinking have strong curiosity and can think creatively, recognize and judge; people who are good at thinking can always find problems in things and find solutions to them; people who are good at thinking often have Excellent creativity also has a strong ability to survive. When they are in adversity, they know how to deal with it.

To increase our ability to recognize, judge and decide, we must also have the ability to imagine and transform.The cultivation of this ability cannot be achieved overnight, but must be sublimated in the process of continuous understanding of things.

4 Discover and learn from the wisdom of the crowd

Human beings have deep prejudices against wolves: those who betray and deceive are regarded as "cunning liars like wolves"; for insidious hypocrites, they are called "wolves in sheep's clothing", and so on.But wolves have been able to survive on the planet ruled by humans so far, and they have their own set of survival wisdom.Human ancestors were the first to discover the wisdom of wolves, and took wolves as teachers, respecting wolves and learning from wolves.Today, we have to re-examine the wolf, discover and learn from the wisdom and strategy of the wolf clan.In life, in career, in the pursuit of success, use wisdom to survive and seek victory.

Wisdom, from a broad perspective, is a good strategy for stabilizing society, but also a pillar of spiritual sustenance, a ladder for sublimating emotions, and a weapon for cultivating thoughts.Someone has accumulated a lot of experience, but he can't get a lesson from it; someone has read a lot of books, but he can't get insights from it; someone has information from various sources, but he can't analyze and judge; Can not see the essence; such a person, we say he lacks wisdom.

What is wisdom?Wisdom, simply put, is the ability to create new things, to create new perspectives.A wise man can not only read different meanings from phenomena, news, knowledge, and experience faster than others, but can also develop new technologies, new inventions, new works, and new ideas from them.

The so-called wise man, to put it bluntly, is actually a man with a heart, a scheming heart, not blindly rushing, not reckless, not acting blindly, not acting recklessly, thinking about everything, thinking carefully, and thinking twice before acting.They must come up with clever tricks and devise tricks, so that every link is stitched into the buttons of wisdom.The so-called "planning in the midst of the strategy and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away" lies in the function of wisdom.Wisdom and wisdom compete with each other, and the great wisdom wins, the whole wisdom wins, the extraordinary wisdom wins, and the dangerous wisdom wins.

Failure stems from less planning, how can life be ignorant.People who have wisdom and often use it will surely lead to success and excellence on the journey of life, and will surely gain happiness in life.The difference between a wise man and a fool is not clearly written on the forehead, but hidden between their thoughts and behaviors, daily life, and standing in the world.A wise man wins, compared with ordinary people, sometimes it is only better than a difference in thought, a difference in thought, and a difference in plan; sometimes it is better than three years of work, ten years of suffering, and half a lifetime of hard work.

In social competition, the importance of possessing and using wisdom is needless to say, and sometimes possessing and using wisdom in the business field is also the key to success and wealth.And relying on long and deep efforts to improve and use one's own wisdom is almost everywhere in our real life.

Japan's Nishimura Jinsuke is a small manufacturer of hourglasses.The hourglass is an antique toy that was used to measure the time of day before the clock was invented.After the clock came out, the hourglass has completed its historical mission.However, Nishimura Jinsuke produced and sold it as an antique.

In order to change the situation, Nishimura looked for a better way to survive in a daze.One day, Nishimura looked through a book about horse racing. The book said: "The horse has lost its transportation function in modern society, but it appears again with high entertainment value." Here, Nishimura seemed to hear the voice of God, and jumped up for joy.He thought, "Racing horses are worth more than freight horses. Yeah! I should find a new use for the hourglass!"

In this way, the occasional inspiration from the book revived Nishimura Jinsuke's spirit, and put all his thoughts on his hourglass again.After several days of hard thinking, an idea came to Nishimura's mind: make an hourglass with a time limit of 3 minutes. When making a long-distance call, it will not exceed 3 minutes, and the telephone bill can be effectively controlled.

After thinking about it, Nishimura began to make it: the design of this thing is very simple. A delicate wooden board is embedded at both ends of the hourglass, and then a copper chain is connected, and then it is fastened next to the telephone with screws.It can also be used as a decoration when not on the phone, watching it drip down, even though it is an insignificant gadget, it can also adjust the tense life of modern people.

Many people worry about spending too much on phone bills. Nishimura Kansuke's new hourglass can effectively control the call time, and the price is very cheap. Therefore, when it was launched, the sales were very good, with an average of 3 sold per month.This innovation turned the seemingly useless hourglass into a useful commodity for life in an instant, and the sales volume increased by a thousand times, and the small workshop that was facing bankruptcy soon turned into a big enterprise.Nishimura Kansuke has also transformed from a small business owner to a rich man with a lot of money.

Nishimura Jinzhu succeeded, made a lot of money, and it was easy, without much effort.But if he is not a caring person, even if he reads the horse racing book, he will not be able to escape the bad luck of bankruptcy, and he may become a penniless pauper.It gives people a revelation: success will especially favor those who are scheming.

In the evolution process of human history, "wisdom" has always been regarded as one of the elements of success.Without the guidance of wise men, perhaps human beings still live in trees.

Wisdom is an indispensable element of success in modern life.But to win with resourcefulness, you need to lay a solid foundation and possess the minimum basic qualities.

A greater success often involves various conditions such as people, money, materials, and the environment, but these conditions are often not met, and people must continue to create.There is a distance between reality and success. In this distance, in addition to the relatively clear existing conditions and lack of conditions, there are still many uncertain factors that are difficult to grasp.

The basic purpose of resourcefulness is to give full play to people's ingenuity and wisdom, and plan the most advantageous method to solve all problems on the road to success.

The basic problem of resourcefulness includes three contents: one is the correct analysis and judgment of the existing situation and conditions; the other is the analysis and observation of the future and uncertain factors; the third is to find a good solution to connect the present with the future .

If we want to win with wisdom, we must be able to face reality and the future, make more correct analysis and judgment, and come up with various methods, plans, and tricks for various problems on the road to success, so as to solve problems and achieve goals.

So, what are the basic qualities that should be possessed in order to win with resourcefulness?

"Since ancient times, there has been a plan to win but no plan to lose, and a good plan to win and a bad plan to defeat." Why are some people resourceful and resourceful, while others are less resourceful?To do the same thing, everyone has their own resourceful methods, but why do some people succeed and others fail?
With extensive knowledge and sufficient relevant information, we can analyze and judge reality and problems more accurately, and predict the future and uncertain factors more accurately.This is the basis of a man's resourcefulness.

Just imagine, if a military commander doesn't know the terrain, how to lead and use troops, the effectiveness and use of basic weapons, and the enemy's situation, how can he produce good military resourcefulness?
5. Lateral thinking, self-denial of shortcomings, and learning of others' strengths
An animal psychologist conducted an experiment in which two orangutans were locked between two short walls, and a basin of food was separated by barbed wire outside. As soon as one of the orangutans saw the food, they rushed straight to it and rushed to the left. Right suddenness means not being able to eat food.The other squatted there, staring straight at the food and the barbed wire, and then looked at the surrounding walls, then turned around and ran back, went around the wall to the other side of the barbed wire, and finally ate the food.We human beings also have a similar phenomenon when we consider a certain problem. Some people always cling to the method of frontal attack and blindly act recklessly, which can't solve the problem at all, while some people adopt devious tactics and use unexpected methods to achieve success easily. , this is the credit of wisdom.The devious tactics use lateral thinking.

The key to lateral thinking is to get rid of the shackles of other people's conventional way of thinking or habitual thinking (fixed thinking), to think from a new perspective of observation, and to actively seek the realm of "a village that is bright in the dark".

A wise man wanted to cross a fast-flowing river, so he asked the people at the boat dock loudly: "Which boat owner can swim?"

As soon as the voice fell, several boat bosses surrounded him, only one did not come, and he asked that person: "Is your water quality good?"

"I'm sorry, for more than 20 years, I can only sail but not swim!" "Okay, I'll take your boat!" People ask why they choose the boat boss who can't swim?It turned out that he used lateral thinking, the boss of the boat can't swim, so he must row carefully, which is safer.

Lateral thinking is generally used in the following two situations: the first situation is that the way to achieve the goal is quite clear, and the original thinking methods, ideas, and methods can achieve the set goal, but due to people's habitual thinking, although the original method There are advantages and disadvantages, but they always cling to one path.In this case, it is necessary to decisively find new ways.For example, if you want to cut a piece of round cardboard, you usually draw a circle with a corresponding diameter on the cardboard, and then carefully cut it with scissors, which takes a long time.Someone thought of using a compass to draw a circle, and changing the tip of the compass into a small blade, it becomes a very good special tool for cutting circles. Different methods solve the same problem and save time.The second case is more useful.In order to solve a certain problem, you have been thinking about it day and night, but it is difficult to solve it perfectly according to the conventional method. At this time, you may wish to change your thinking and find a solution from the field related to your own research, or invite "laymen" to give advice. idea.Maybe it will be easy to solve the problem.For example, Luban’s invention of the saw and Morse’s invention of the telegraph are examples of this kind of thinking.

To behave in the world, you should learn from wolves, never act recklessly, go forward in a detour, and attack from unexpected places for prey. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: "The prophet who uses the straightforward strategy wins." The so-called straightforward strategy is to understand the lateral thinking of the straightforward and the straight.On the surface, this strategy is a circuitous road, but in fact it creates conditions for profit more effectively and quickly.

In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, politics was corrupt, and all the heroes rose together and turned against Qin one after another.Liu Bang's troops first entered Guanzhong and attacked Xianyang.After the powerful Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, he forced Liu Bang to withdraw from Guanzhong.At the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang almost died.After Liu Bang escaped danger this time, he had to lead his troops to retreat to Guanzhong.In order to paralyze Xiang Yu, when Liu Bang retreated, he burned all the plank roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, saying that he would not return to Guanzhong.In fact, Liu Bang never forgot to defeat Xiang Yu and fight for the world.
